It isn’t truly summer without outdoor Shakespeare performances — and when admission is free, that’s even better. When Stephanie Marrinan was pursuing her bachelor’s degree in theatre arts in the ’90s, SUNY New Paltz presented wonderful Shakespeare under the Stars programs on campus every summer. Missing those days, the Kingston City School District teacher decided to revive the tradition and, in 2012, founded the Rondout Repertory Theatre Company. With a mission “to provide a solid theatrical education to our young actors and a strong foundation for higher education,” this day camp program for kids age 9 to 16 has been bringing free outdoor Shakespeare back to New Paltz ever since.
